Notes from the Webmaster about Zola's 2006 battle with cancer

A break from the treatments

Last week, Zola had his last radiation and chemo treatments. This is an intermission for a couple of weeks to see how he’s reacting to the treatment. At the end of March, he will be evaluated to see if they should continue or not.

Zola has handled the treatments very well. He has become fatigued from them but hasn’t had any nausea. He has lost about 1/2 of the hair on his head, though. He has started to have a bit of a rebound now that he’s off the treatments.

Sandra will be in Israel with the tour for a week. Zola has had friends staying with them for some time now, helping Sandra out, and they’ll be there while Sandra is gone.

Zola will continue at his post as long as he is able, and he’s still very able. He continues to make TV shows (four last week and several this week).

Next week’s TV show is another personal episode called “Introducing Sandra.”
And so it goes…

    Dear Sandra and Zola,

    You may not remember us but we met with you in Eureaka Springs, Arkansas a couple of years ago(Passion Play and tour.) We were blessed to meet you both.

    Diane and I continue to pray for your comfort Zola and for strength for you Sandra. We love you Sandra,(with our without those sun glasses) and Zola, you were so kind to teach this former altar boy so much in such a short time.

    Yes we watch, listen and learn from your videos and hope some day to be with you on the tour to the real Holy Land!

    Zola as a broadcaster I know how medical struggles can affect one but I must say, you are very strong on the screen. Sandra, you really came across so well tonite and I know how much you both are in love with each other and of course our Lord. Diane and I are proud to support your minstry.

    For all that is said, you both touched two lives here in West Tennessee. I hope you’ll be on the road again in your camper and that we’ll see you again soon.

    God has blessed you both and His blessings continue to flow through your program, your ministry by His word.

    We keep you both in our prayers constantly and we continue to pray for the peace of Israel!
    In His love..
    Paul and Diane Tinkle

    We know the Lord is with you and His Holy Spirit is leading and guiding you, so with Him on your side what do you have to worry…..We have no worries…God is with you….We love you and your family….Thank you Lord Jesus!

    Zola,

    I began watching your program several years ago. Little by little the stregth of your light helped me to embrace my Jewish heritage … and the calling Yeshua commissioned me to do .. to bring the Gospel to the Jew and Gentile.

    As a Jewish beliver my study of Scripture and Torah have been made richer by your ministry. I wish I could adequately express the impact you have had on my life … and personal ministry.

    I praise G-d for the anointing He has placed upon you … and your obedience to accept His commission. Be assured you are a “true and faithful servant” that has helped to equip the saint in each of us, who love God, His Word, and have welcomed His beloved son, Yeshua, into our lives … to carry on with our own commission … made richer by you, your life, and your ministry.

    Barukh attah Adonai eloheinu melekh ha’olam, shenatan meichokhmato levasar vadam. (Blessed are You, LORD our G-d, Master of the universe, who has given wisdom to flesh and blood.)

    May Adonai hold you in His perfect shalom.

    We love you.

    Praise the L-rd Yeshua for all you have done to bring so many to the L-ord. You have tought so much about Isreal, on Isreal and their plight, even to date you still continue with your mission. I have learned so much from you Zola their is no way to repay except to tell you that I will follow the L-rd always and humbly be His servant.

    Isaiah 53:4 Surely our diseases he did bear, and our pains he carried; whereas we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his stripes we were healed.

    Zola by the Messiah’s stripes you were healed. He already bore your sickness. By Yeshua’s stripes you WERE healed and made whole, 2000 years ago.

    G-d bless you my friend in Christ.

    Layla

    Dearest Zola and Sandra,
    Thank you so much for another touching and such a personal program this week. The music just overwhelmingly fills my heart.
    You were both so wonderful and gracious when my husband and I met you at the Holy Land experience. I still have a heart’s desire to travel to Israel with both of you some time in the future. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

  9. Debra Marie Sevenish Says:

    Thank you for putting me on your list AND
    PLEASE let Zola know…

    I am one of the recent 18 to 24 month viewer and
    that there is fruit from expanding the TV coverage.
    I love Israel and wanted to know more of it & I THANK
    YOU ALL & ZOLA for teaching me well. Thank you
    for folks like Walid Shoebat & Ibrahim Abdullah
    & allowing their stories to be told!

    I am an artist & I prayed for focus and direction
    as to better serve my Lord in my art. Zola Levitt
    Ministries has broadened my vision and inspired me
    to function better within both my art and my music
    calling. Thank you Father, for Zola and Sandra and
    the team and for wisdom and peace as we all look
    towards home.

    Love,

    Debra Marie

    I CAN’T EXPRESS HOW GREATLY ZOLA LEVITT’S MINISTRY HAS TOUCHED MY LIFE, TAUGHT ME, ENCOURAGED ME, ENLIGHTENED ME TO THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HORRIBLE SLANTED DISTORTION IN THE MEDIA TODAY PERTAINING TO ISRAEL AND THE ISLAMIC HATRED OF, AND THE WORLD’S IGNORANCE OF THEM. I’M PRAYING FERVENTLY FOR HEALING FOR BROTHER ZOLA, IF THE LORD WILLS, AND I REJOICE OVER HIS PEACE IN YESHUA. IF HE TAKES ZOLA HOME, IT WILL LEAVE A VOID IN THIS WORLD AS TOUCHING BIBLE PROPHECY FROM ISRAEL’S PERSPECTIVE, (GOD’S PERSPECTIVE), THAT I CAN’T SEE BEING FILLED BY ANYONE, ALTHOUGH I GREATLY APPRECIATE THE CARRYING ON OF HIS WORK BY THE FAMILY, ETC. I HAVE’NT KNOWN OF ANYONE WHO COULD ARTICULATE IN THE MANNER THAT ZOLA HAS, THE COMPLEX, YET EVER SO OVERT SITUATION THAT THE CHURCH, THE WORLD, THE ARABS, AND THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD FIND THEMSELVES IN, AS GOD’S HOLY WORD IS PROVEN REPEATEDLY BEFORE OUR EYES. I’M STUNNED, SADDENED, AND HEAVY HEARTED BY THIS NEWS CONCERNING ONE OF MY VERY VERY FAVORITE, DEAR BIBLE TEACHERS OF MANY YEARS. I’VE NEVER GOT TO MEET YOU, ZOLA, OR TAKE THE TOUR OF GOD’S LAND WITH YOU I’VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF, BUT COULD’NT AFFORD, BUT I FEEL SO MUCH LIKE A DEAR FRIEND IS SLIPPING FROM MY MIDST. I LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, YOUR FAITHFULNESS TO THE LORD IN A DISTINCT, BUT RARE WORK, AND FOR WHO YOU’VE BEEN BEFORE US ALL…ONE OF THE LORD’S TRUE CHAMPIONS…PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM…AND PRAY FOR A MIGHTY SOLDIER OF GOD. BROTHER ZOLA. GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU IN HIS LOVE, SHALOM! bobby sims.

I have such a great love for the Jewish people (Israel) this love is strengthened by Zola’s program. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to your ministry. I pray that God will bless your family during this very difficult time.
    Shalom,
